More than half of families in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) are dissolved; and up to 50% of marriages in Northern Caucasus end in divorces, the Muftis noted at a conference in Nalchik. Islamic clergymen have associated the problem with irresponsible attitude to marriage, non-observance of Islamic precepts, and domestic violence.
In the regions of Northern Caucasus, divorces make up from 47 to 50% of the number of marriages, Khadjimurat Gatsalov, Mufti of North Ossetia, cited the statistics.
"Every second family gets divorced; and if men later marry again, then women, basically, no longer get married," he said.
In Islam, the creation of a family is treated as a righteous act, said Khazretali Dzasezhev, Mufti of the KBR. In his opinion, efforts must be strained to save families.
Imran Salimov, the chief specialist of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (SAM) of Chechnya, said that if the couple decides to divorce on the initiative of the wife "for no good reason", she is obliged to pay compensation to her husband; if the husband is the initiator of the divorce, then, he pays.
Besides, according to Salimov, in Chechnya, after the spouses have applied to the ZAGS (civil registry office) for divorce, they are recommended to apply to the SAM for a conciliation procedure.

Maybe they can adopt Hungarian policy?
ReplyDelete"Hungary is offering €30,600 to married couples who have three or more children.
A married couple receives the €30,600 as a loan from the government upon getting married. The loan then has to be repaid until the couple has three children. At this point, the debt is completely forgiven.
The impact of pro-family policies in Hungary has been massive.
Abortions dropped from 40,449 to 28,500 from 2010 to 2017, divorces fell from 23,873 in 2010 to 18,600, and marriages increase by a huge 42 percent."
